Google has announced a partnership with Cloudera to bring its Dataflow programming model into Apache Spark. According to the company, developers need a powerful, flexible and easy-to-use programming model to stay productive, and the Dataflow model provides maximum productivity and seamlessly portability.
Dataflow currently offers a direct pipeline runner, a Google Cloud Dataflow runner, and now a Spark runner.
“Thanks to Cloudera, the Spark runner allows the same Dataflow program to execute on a Spark cluster, whether in the cloud or on-premises,” wrote William Vambenepe, product manager for Google, on the company’s blog.
